The Kids

A person does not open a candy store if they do not love kids.  I am no exception.  I had a home daycare for years and years.  I devote as much time as I can to my grandkids.  There is a 6 year old that comes into the store.  He lives on a farm and fancies himself a cowboy.  He does chores and gets an allowance.  He comes into the store with a bag of change.  His little brother does the same.  The little brother looks around grabs something and pays - done.  The cowboy has a system.  He brings one thing to the counter, pays, takes the change and finds something else.  Over and over he buys smaller things until he only has one or two pennies left.  Of all the kids that come into the shop, so far he is the only one that has it down to a fine science.  He is always very proud of himself too.  It is so much fun to watch the little kids that are using their own money.  One of the joys of my job!
Update on Molly Moped.  Yep, she was back in the shop today.  I am sure that is something off about her.  This is not a person working with a full deck.  She walks in the door and before she is even in she starts talking.  You would think we were best friends.  Today she had a story about someone stealing something from her son and how her son handled it.  She was very upset about it.  She was so worked up she did not give me an update on her health.  She also went to a garage sale and bought a Coach purse for $2.00.  The zipper does not work but that is fine.  She got another purse to.  She will bring it in and show me another day.  Looking forward to it.  Before she left she reminded me to go buy a lottery ticket, it is over $400 million.  Done.  I could rejuvenate the entire downtown with that amount of money.  Fingers crossed!
